For any rooming questions, please reach out to AGB’s Event Planner, Christy Andrews. She can be reached via phone at 800-878-4018 or via email to AGBevents@helmsbriscoe.com Monday – Friday 9:00 am – 5:00 pm EST..
Warning! Beware of unauthorized housing companies (hotel “poachers”) that contact individuals offering cheaper rates. This practice, also known as “room pirating,” is a scam that all convention attendees should be aware of in order to avoid passing along personal and financial information. Please only go through the link provided by AGB in your confirmation receipt to make your reservation in the AGB room block. Note: No one from our organization will call you to make your reservation. Hotel poachers will claim to be an AGB partner or the “official housing company” and will sometimes ask that your room be paid in full, up front.
